Hi
It seems the discussion on this topic has settled, so I am now doing a
summary of the discussion as I understand it.
* Generally, the original proposal seems to have been received
favorably at a conceptual level.
[...]
A follow up on this:
* The proposal is now implemented in debhelper compat 14 (as of version
13.15+) and debputy (0.1.21+).
* The `debputy` migration tool will flag any obsolete substvars that
are 1:1 with what `debputy` would have applied for you. No tool for
debhelper-based packages exist at this time.
* Lintian is not updated yet and will still complain about missing
relationship substvars. I have filed #1067653 to have that changed.
I expect this to be final on this topic for this round. :)
Best regards,
Niels
